“…SPECT is one of the most commonly used nuclear medicine modalities in clinical practice [ 117 ]. Some examples of clinical use are the potential usefulness of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 imaging in the evaluation of patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease [ 118 ], the therapeutic effects of 111 In-DTPA-octreotide in tumors of various sizes [ 119 ], and the location and excision of the tumor [ 120 ]. Besides, small-animal SPECT is designed for imaging small animals specifically [ 121 , 122 ], and it has been used for many preclinical studies.…”

Molecular imaging has emerged at the end of the last century as an interdisciplinary method involving in vivo imaging and molecular biology aiming at identifying living biological processes at a cellular and molecular level in a noninvasive manner. It has a profound role in determining disease changes and facilitating drug research and development, thus creating new medical modalities to monitor human health. At present, a variety of different molecular imaging techniques have their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. In order to overcome these shortcomings, researchers combine two or more detection techniques to create a new imaging mode, such as multimodal molecular imaging, to obtain a better result and more information regarding monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. In this review, we first describe the classic molecular imaging technology and its key advantages, and then, we offer some of the latest multimodal molecular imaging modes. Finally, we summarize the great challenges, the future development, and the great potential in this field.
